It shows how small but great human beings are. Ember is equivalent to a bottle cap that blocks the human mind. The greatness lies in the fact that human beings made this bottle cap and protected the survival of human beings. The small thing is that human intelligence is restrained by a bottle cap. In the center of the film, as the hero's father said, "The function of the bottle cap is not only to prevent the water from flowing out." The bottle cap can not only seal the water in the bottle (like that city closed human beings), but also can make the water flow out in time (can't let the water flow out). The "cap" closes our wisdom). (So ​​the male protagonist's father was never in despair!) This is probably what the author wants us to do. Our wisdom should not be lost in a closed environment. If you contact life, yes. Many things are our bottle caps, and we know from experience that they can't break through (like the folks at Ember decided the outside world was polluted). But our ideals, our wisdom, and our nature should not be stifled, otherwise they will be sealed in a bottle forever. and many more. . .

    After reading it, I can't help feeling that it's so good to be young, and loli is so good. Loli in Atonement runs fast in a scarlet shawl to be a messenger, and her blond hair is beautiful. The tim robbins that the slave family likes have very few scenes. Later, in a trance, there is a bit of a pioneer, a fable in a hundred years of loneliness. The world above is devoid of human beings and animals, and is dead silent. From night to sunrise, there is also a strong metaphorical meaning in the story. I can't help but guess whether human beings experienced a doomsday catastrophe 100 years ago, and all their descendants were buried in the ground to survive. The rest of the plot is really childish and not worth mentioning.

    Movies are not afraid of vulgarity, and they are comforting to be vulgar. They are good movies. Just as the Oscar judges have always supported aspirational films, I also support such films that explore the destiny of mankind from an optimistic perspective.
